Drifting
on the fog,
not quite here
yet
to embrace the change,
the shift in speed
or landscape,
still
unclear
if the direction is from
first to third or
turbo disengaged.

It feels more like
stuck in neutral.

    The Flames

    The Turks,
    they came to claim,
    were wrong to fight the flames.
    Nature must have the final say.
    Silence.

      Spin

      She prances and preens,
      showering promises
      and promising dreams

      from a venom-tipped tongue
      that keeps none
      but those to the one
      in the mirror.

      Beware the pomp and circumstance,
      the truth behind
      her willingness to dance.

      The goal is not a partner
      but a spin
      that lets her win,
      collateral be damned.

        The Junk

        The man,
        the guy,
        the kid, yes,
        he’s a kid,
        vibrates behind the counter.

        Disks in his ears,
        rings in his nose,
        women,
        and dragons,
        on his arms,
        he’s clearly had too much
        of the junk
        today.

        It should be a warning.
        I see it
        as a challenge.

        Hook me up.

        One more latte,
        coming my way.

          Sleepless

          Hamsters nibble their way
          to hell.
          Gravel accumulates,
          blinding
          the light.
          Dark matter,
          a weighted vacuum,
          claims the clock.

          And the cat screeches,
          madness
          in its eyes.

          No five star hotel here.
